Hi visitor.

Well, since you are now here and hopefully with the good intention to become acquainted with me – what can I tell you?

Taken

In my private life I am the ultimate happy husband of my wife Sabine and the proud father of two girls – Audrey and Donna. Nice names? Yes, and if you take the starting letters of Donna, Audrey, Yves and Sabine you get DAYS. You may find another secret, if you connect our names in this order ;-)

Busy

In my business life I am the owner, Managing Director and Head of Innovation of my little cross-media agency, called Ad & Breakfast. Nice name? Yupp, when I was thinking of how to reflect our intention to deliver something special, I immediately thought of the breakfast made by the little bed and breakfast pensions. It is so much nicer to start the day with a good breakfast and we therefore offer breakfast to each client who visit us in our agency in the morning.

Picky

Maybe you just want to get in touch with me. No problem, you will find me all over the Interweb. Since I like trying all the fancy new services out there, chances are high you will run into me. But there is a but. I am very picky about whom I am willing to talk to. I am only following a few people on Twitter who give me a real value or whom I met in the real life. Similar on Facebook – even here I go for quality, not masses. So don't be too disappointed if I am not following you back or friend with you on Social Networks, I am just trying to keep the noise low.

If you like to ping me and you prefer the old school ways or intent to send me physical deliveries (gadgets preferred), please use my agency address:

Ad & Breakfast Crossmedia Consulting GmbH
Benzenbergstraße 43 (Hofbgeäude)
40219 Düsseldorf
Germany

If you want to send me a mail you have to conquer the best spam filter known to mankind — the one from Google Mail. But that's only half the way, the next hurdle can only be taken with a good subject line. Since I am in this business, you need to surprise me.

If you like to hear my voice, either on my iPhone, via Skype, or Google Voice there are only two ways. Mail me first or see me in person and pass a Voight-Kampff test. Then and only then you will get my numbers.

Geeky

Though my photo doesn't look so, I am a Geek. Or Nerd. Or both. I like to play on my PlayStation 3, or PSP, or Wii or iPhone 3 GS. I own tons of games but barely have time to play them – but I could, if I can. And I like gadgets. Oh my god, how much I like them. As a therapy I start writing a weblog called Technoskop, dedicated to the world of gadgets, and gained some little fame for it. Now Technoskop is more of an aggregator for gadget findings. Most of them are not my findings but they are cool. If I find the time to unbox something, play with something or have more to tell, you may read it on my blog.

Mini

I like small cars. Actually I drive a cream white Mini Cooper D, called 'Emma.' Before Emma I drove a Hot Orange Mini Cooper S Cabrio. I've tried some big ones, like a Mercedes E Class and a VW Sharan, but nah, they are not for me. I think I will stick to Mini because I like their Marketing and their stickiness to their car design. My next Mini will hopefully be Mini Coupé.

I like to drive fast, brake late, to drift and to change gears automatically.
